Boyfriend Is Spilling That Truth Tea - Tumblr Posts

SIGNAL BOOSTING THE FUCK OUT OF THIS TRUTH TEA.

I implore you to realise that you don’t have to be a minority to be bullied.

The world sucks, it’s a bunch of people trying to find their way, and you know what, sometimes they can be cruel.

I have the privilege that comes of being a white man in this world, whilst still being victim to prejudices as a bisexual. Like a lot of people I have been bullied, I have been picked on, and I have been made to feel like crap. But I can tell you now that this has rarely been a result of my sexuality. The aspect of myself that makes me a minority isn’t always the reason. People will find anything to pick on based on their own insecurities.

People are bullied for being ugly, being too pretty, too clever, too dumb, too talented, not talented enough, going against the crowd, being a sheep.

So the next time you disregard someone’s pain, experiences, or feelings, remember that pain is universal. Some people have it worse than others, true, but we shouldn’t disallow another’s pain because of that.

Because quite frankly if you’re reading this, you’re privileged, and someone will always have it worse.

TL;DR Let’s just be nice to each other, ok guys?
